问题
I'm trying to use the boost_1_55_0 libraries and I keep coming across references to jamfiles.
What are jamfiles?
Why are there things like bjam and multiple versions of jamfiles?
回答1:
Jam is an open source make system built by Perforce.
Bjam is a boost variant of jam. One of the advantages of jam is that it is explicitly designed to be a platform independent build system, in contrast to other build systems such as make.
